Stossel and Napolitano, that's it I think. I suspect that's its a deliberate and wise business move by Fox...I don't follow the conspiracy theorists that believe that the only purpose of Fox is so Murdoch can elect Republicans.

I think it's definitely a conscious decision that Fox Business is much more libertarian than conservative Fox News.

Let's make sure we all get on foxnews.com to help out their advertisers for the sake of...what exactly? More press? an internet pissing contest?

IMO, internet polls are insubstantial, opaque and only serve as data-mining treasure troves.

For the sake of bringing more public exposure to bitcoin. Is there a problem with that?

As long as our only exchange of note is under attack and unable to fend it off for significant portions of the day there just might be. That said, voted and bumped.

This was an issue that I myself even was concerned about when the whole Wikileaks/PayPal tirade broke out. I was afraid that bitcoin would get attacked by the government and other powerful enteties since the wikileaks release had sparked so much negative attention from politicians, the white house, the state department, news commentators, etc. But this is different. Freedom Watch is a show promoting many libertarians ideas, so as long as the interviewie doesn't diss gold, ir should be a relatively supportive audience.

Plus the cat is already out of the hat since lead developer Gavin accepted invitation to speak at the CIA, and news sources Time, CNN, etc.

"We will not find a solution to political problems in cryptography, but we can win a major battle in the arms race and gain a new territory of freedom for several years.

Governments are good at cutting off the heads of a centrally controlled networks, but pure P2P networks are holding their own."

There aren't very many comments, compared to the suggestions that are in first and second position.

As the show's writers will probably read the comments to get their initial orientation to bitcoin, it would be a good idea if people post short comments containing a positive fact about Bitcoin. For example "Bitcoin is great because I can make payments anywhere in the world, usually for free."

And it's good that the comments are in low number and they are sane comments.Imagine all the paranoid people that hang around here went there and posted the same type of stuff they sometimes post in this forum?Do we really expect the TV show producers/whatever to read 2k comments in a topic? I don't think they will give themslves the trouble.They will be better off by just researching the matter with their own means, i guess!

EDIT: Taking a look at the topics with the most comments i realized that it happens when the subject is one that as a lot of opposing points of view.Bitcoin doesn't seem to be the case. I guess Bitcoin will have to deal more with disbelief than opposition. Unless it's OCN, where disbelief went hand by hand with very sound opposition!
